The crucial issue is really what performance you get, gluebi is fairly 
transparent so I don't think you loose any significant amount. True, 
there's a lot of code that must be passed in order to get at the data, but 
the same is true for a lot of the kernel. u-boot perhaps can't handle 
gluebi though?
